In North Carolina, there is another Senatorial split. One Senator is more likely than the other to vote yes on S1584, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. Yet neither has confirmed support for the bill as of yet. They are both in the unconfirmed column.

The Representatives of North Carolina are in a similar position. Half are leaning yes, half are leaning no. Most of them are unconfirmed in their positions.

Some have commented that it is not worth making calls to a legislator who seems to be anti-LGBT. But I think it is worth your time and effort, very much so. First, it may make them think twice about championing the dark side and trying to get others to vote against us. Second, in the new political climate, they may see that times have changed and that might is on the side of right. They could change their minds.

So get on the phones and on the internets. Contact info and more after the jump.
